The Pickup Line that Never Fails

[bigneil]

So you're talking to a girl and she seems interested and you want to go from point A to point B. What do you say?

Try this line that has never failed for me in 5+ years of using it:

"Are you single"?

If you read them correctly to begin with then they already like you, so they almost always say yes. If not, it's not like you were even rejected, it was just a question.

For more effect:

1) Say their name.
2) Hold eye contact.
3) Pause.
4) Offer a shameless smile (as if you know you are up to no good).
5) Ask "Are you single?".

If they say yes, the next best line is the follow-up:

6) "We should get together sometime".

You're in like Flynn!

Wow. Horrible advice. Sorry bro. Aspiring DJs, make sure you avoid adding anything like this to your DJ repertoire and interpret the following to learn why:

The whole point of an interaction with a woman is to be at a higher value than her. She will only let you fvck her if your value is higher than hers. This is pretty much the most desperate, staged, ridiculous line you could ever use. I'm sure it could work on low value, ugly women, but why slave yourself to some nasty chick's less-than-average looks within seconds of seeing her when there's other ways to be direct with her & quickly gauge interest at the same time?

If you're that boring, uncreative, or just flat out lazy to actually engage a woman and make her interested, use something that displays at least SOME value..

"Hey. So you're kinda cute, I have to know if your looks match your personality?" At least here you are displaying interest while at the same time gauging hers. If she has a boyfriend, or thinks you're creepy, or unnattractive, or weird, she will let you know one way or another.

"Are you single?" = "Want some cοck?"

rocket87 is a jackass who just joined this month.

I never said it was an opener - and I don't spend enough time here to memorize the lingo. Just speaking from experience.

Officially, it ranks #3 on the Best Pickup lines:

Note: I don't recommend this as an Opening line. I meant, as I noted, to go from the point where you detect interest to getting their number.

I fail to see how asking a girl if she's single is anything other than total noob AFC chatter. I would be open to hear your explanations to counter this point.

"The Pickup Line that Never Fails" is hardly descriptive of the term "are you single?" There is no such thing as the pickup line that never fails. In fact, the whole "pickup line" idea is completely and utterly AFC and shouldn't even be a thought in a young aspiring guy's mind if he's looking to successfully meet women. Also, anything that could possibly translate into "Want some c0ck?" is completely worthless in the realm of picking up attractive women. It's all about value. Offering them your hard d!ck cupped in your hand is not a display of value.

And thanks for noticing my join date, I'm glad the forum's calendar function is working.

If you don't like my opinion, don't want my input, or want to ignore my help, you don't have to call me names to tell me Silly goose.


Last piece of free advice: I can't count on one hand how many girls I've slept with that were "in a relationship" when I was courting them. Sh!t, a few of them were even married. One of the most advantageous aspects of pickup is the otherwise impossible factor when they are in the process of breaking up and been waiting for a splendid reason to leave their boyfriend behind. Their sh!tty relationships literally fuel your game. Why the hell would you give up this ridiculous advantage?? Logic, my friend. Logic.

It's okay to be wrong sometimes. Officially, we'll still love you. <3


At the end of the day, whatever works for you man. Keep asking girls if their single and fishing for that "No, Sorry. I have a boyfriend." answer. Doesn't matter to me

You should always assume they are single.

Pickup lines are cheesy.

 

[NorwegianDJ]

I like it and think its good advice.

Note the "are you single" line comes from David D'Angelo originally.

Asking a girl if she is single (once you are already talking to them) is just a way to show that you are interested and boil it down to a yes/no question for them. Do you really think they would lose interest based on that?

My bad for calling it a Pickup Line - not sure what the correct terminology is.

This line worked for me yesterday when a girl approached me at the beach and said she "liked the view, and didn't mean the ocean". I said "are you single?" and she said yes. I walked her back to her car so I could write my email down and she already emailed me to ask me to make her dinner.

It also worked for my previous relationship - she was with a guy but said he's just a friend. I asked "Are you single?" Yes. Got her email. GF before that - at the pool, said she was married for a few years. "Are you single?" "Oh yeah...". Walked her home. Just about every relationship I've had in the past few years, that line was the key transition point, but not until I already read their body language and already thought they were interested.

+1 rep Bigneil,I agree with you.


I don't think asking "are you single" ITSELF is a problem,it's just WHEN YOU ASK IT that may help or hurt your chances with a girl.

If used as an opener,it would probably make you come off as being needy,but the way Bigneil suggests doing it,which is weaving it into a conversation that has ALREADY BEEN GOING FOR A WHILE,I don't see the harm in that.


It just makes it seem like after talking to a girl for a while,something about the convo impressed you,and then you decided to show interest by asking about her status.


He said that has had repeated success using it,so I don't see the problem in him sharing something that has been a great help to him.

Do you really think they would lose interest based on that?

I don't. Not the way you suggest it be woven in at some point in a conversation.

My bad for calling it a Pickup Line - not sure what the correct terminology is.

Agreed.

I remember one time I used a so-called "pickup line" on a girl a long time ago.

After I said it,she smiled and went,"Wow,you have some good lines". The second she said that,I knew it was over. I knew I had screwed up.


Me using a line and her telling me I had some good lines is like someone telling a joke to someone,then them replying,"That's funny".


If a joke is funny,you don't say,"that's funny". If the joke is funny,you just laugh.


She told me I had some good lines,but if a PICKUP line was TRUELY GOOD,she wouldn't have said that,it just would have PICKED HER UP.

This line worked for me yesterday when a girl approached me at the beach and said she "liked the view, and didn't mean the ocean". I said "are you single?" and she said yes.

Woah...hold up a second here Bigneil. Here in this case,the "are you single" line DID NOT work because she was ALREADY INTERESTED.


She approached you. In fact,she used a line on you. Your "are you single" line was simply RECIPROCATING the interest she showed FIRST.


The whole purpose of ANY TYPE OF LINE is to generate interest,not reciprocate it.

It also worked for my previous relationship - she was with a guy but said he's just a friend. I asked "Are you single?" Yes. Got her email. GF before that - at the pool, said she was married for a few years. "Are you single?" "Oh yeah...". Walked her home. Just about every relationship I've had in the past few years, that line was the key transition point, but not until I already read their body language and already thought they were interested.

The part I put in bold is the key.

You said that you waited until "I already read their body language and already thought they were interested". You didn't just say the "are you single" thing out of the blue,you waited until you thought there was interest on the girl's part,then said it.


That's the right thing to do.

I don't think there's anything wrong with bigneil's line. I agree it's not an opener, or even a pickup line really. But I like it, it's direct. People are objecting to it because it's not part of the indirect style that Mystery made popular.

You might complain because it's expressing too much interest. But unless a girl is already attracted, you have to express some interest to get her attention. Then you can push/pull from there if you like. If a girl doesn't know you exist, it doesn't do much good to show disinterest, does it?
There might also be a problem because what if she says "No, I'm not single", but there are ways to proceed from there.

 

[bilboteabaggins]

a DJ doesn't care if a b!tch is single, it doesn't matter to him

 

[bigneil]

As zekko and Igetit! have noted the point is to express interest and risk rejection early on. You must be confident enough to do that or you will be put in the friend zone.

IMO the more words you use when asking them out, the greater the chance she doesn't understand you.

I can see why a lot of you are so bitter as you hang out on sosuave on a Saturday night.

 

[bigneil]

The point of this thread was that the "Are you single" line works to escalate things. For those who claimed (in the most rude and arrogant of ways) that it is a bad line, here is one of the emails I got Saturday night from the girl who I used that line on the day before:

"Hi,

Instead of texting you I am filling your email box!

I just thought about our meeting and I hope I did not come on too
strong. I know I fall under the category "complicated" and it sounds
like you just ended a long term relationship. This is all new to me
and all I know is that I was really attracted to you, not a crime,
right?!"

Let's see some of the emails you don-wannabees are actually getting with your own pick up lines.
